London, To-day.

The crew. of the Norwegian steamer Notos have arrived at # northern port and state that they were attacked by a U-boat off St. Kilda.

A loud explosion and dense smoke came from the U-boat, which disappeared in a manner suggesting she may have been sunk. Reuter.

*** Built at Newcastle. in 1905, the Notos was a vessel of 3,270 tons. Owned by Johan C. Wiese, she was registered at Bergen and was 331 feet long.

London, To-day. The British blockade has pre- vented any petrol from getting United through direct from the States to Germany; Russia, how- ever, probably obtained over 1,- the war 300,000 barrels since started, according to the Wash- ington correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph."

One of the questions now being asked is whether any American petrol going to Russla is finding its way to Germany.

Nearly all the oil is shipped from California and once it has reached Russian shores nothing is known of its ultimate destination. Soviet imports of American petrol in September amounted to 48,000 barrels; it rose to 318,500 in October and

in 317,000 was November.

Officials here point out that very little of this was of the highest grade suitable for the use of aero- planes, and it is believed that the so-called "moral embargo" invok- ed against the export of refining machinery will prevent this in- creased export from being used in the campaign against Finland. Reuter.

Paris, To-day, Seventy per cent of the Polish Navy has succeeded in escaping and joining the Allied Forces, states a communique issued by the High Command of the Polish Army in France,
